00:29:18 ◼   ► number one most people have no idea what this really gonna advertised I don't [TS]

00:29:33 ◼   ► Pro you can say is that the one with the force touch track pattern it just as a [TS]

00:29:36 ◼   ► way to clarify whether it can do it or not it's like retina display or anything [TS]

00:29:41 ◼   ► anything else that Apple's use descriptive names for ya IIC really no [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► problem with it and it's honestly it's a good descriptor what and how would you [TS]

00:29:58 ◼   ► the haptic trackpad like then you start only other thing I've heard that it was [TS]

00:30:02 ◼   ► impossible would be to call the tactic trackpad bad I I bet it's close enough [TS]

00:30:08 ◼   ► that it was probably like on the finalist list you know like a white [TS]

00:30:12 ◼   ► board until shelters office and that says like forced touch trackpad tactic [TS]

00:30:16 ◼   ► track bad engine trackpad trackpad ya know there's like a circle around [TS]

00:30:22 ◼   ► exactly with stars I i like it better than I i used i think both descriptions [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► when I was writing about it in our hands on and i i like forced touch trackpad is [TS]

00:30:32 ◼   ► it as a monitor or just forced touch technology in general is especially you [TS]

00:30:37 ◼   ► know we've seen on the watch now we were seeing it on a track pad that's [TS]

00:30:41 ◼   ► essentially the size of an iPhone 6 screen I don't think it's unlikely that [TS]

00:30:45 ◼   ► we'll see it on iOS devices [TS]

00:30:48 ◼   ► in the next year or so and as a result like you'd you're gonna need a good way [TS]

00:30:53 ◼   ► to describe it [TS]

00:30:54 ◼   ► versus you know you got a Retina Display with with force touch multi-touch [TS]

00:30:58 ◼   ► technology that's a lot of touches but you know what I mean right yeah it's a [TS]

00:31:04 ◼   ► complaint against it and I i'm juveniles anybody I think but the complaint is [TS]

00:31:59 ◼   ► tossed out and my only brush aside of iPad was it sounds and looks too much [TS]

00:32:05 ◼   ► like iPod so they're not gonna do that and they just went ahead and did it and [TS]

00:32:11 ◼   ► like I spent two years on this show [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► clicks now well it doesn't really click with you talking about [TS]

00:33:22 ◼   ► and then they told him and he was like that's not true and they like to turn [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► the machine off for him so he could try it when the machine was off and you know [TS]

00:33:29 ◼   ► does move yeah that's uncanny in at the baffling part is I don't get a chance to [TS]

00:33:33 ◼   ► try it out until until this week with with the machine completely off I went [TS]

00:33:49 ◼   ► know that you know it's not electromagnets but it's it's something [TS]

00:33:53 ◼   ► similar I know that it's basically sending it sending vibrations to my [TS]

00:33:57 ◼   ► finger that make it feel like a click even though my finger is moving sideways [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► but in my brain it feels like I am pressing down and the trackpad is [TS]

00:34:05 ◼   ► physically depressing and that's even more so I don't know if they they had [TS]

00:34:10 ◼   ► like different apps on the App at the Apple store that you were playing with [TS]

00:34:26 ◼   ► in quick time with force touch and you press the fast forward button as you [TS]

00:34:31 ◼   ► like put a little bit more pressure on the trackpad it speeds up to the point [TS]

00:34:35 ◼   ► where it like it speeds up like 60 times but you can slowly release that pressure [TS]

00:34:40 ◼   ► while your finger is still down and the speed starts to slow down again so it [TS]

00:34:46 ◼   ► feels almost like a gas pedal worth over with a trackpad we like [TS]

00:34:50 ◼   ► like that I know it's such as it's such a different experience that I've ever [TS]

00:34:56 ◼   ► had on a computer [TS]

00:34:59 ◼   ► like a mean that's it that's a technology like that's old school right [TS]

00:35:54 ◼   ► as always but I was able to get out is like there's a there's a fair amount of [TS]

00:36:04 ◼   ► starch which means and and the fact that it's available as an SDK for developers [TS]

00:36:08 ◼   ► to look into it basically means that like developers can set sort of quick [TS]

00:36:14 ◼   ► points and pressure points at any point like along this curve this this you know [TS]

00:36:19 ◼   ► pressure sensitivity curve so in theory you could you could have any number of [TS]

00:36:24 ◼   ► pressure points or any number of you know multiple clicks [TS]

00:36:29 ◼   ► I just think about like going back two games for a second I think about playing [TS]

00:38:22 ◼   ► kensington that makes them where glowed blue [TS]

00:38:27 ◼   ► yeah kensington a Belkin or something like that but I like I knew editors who [TS]

00:38:33 ◼   ► absolutely rely on those knobs early this is as close as I'm gonna get to a [TS]

00:38:37 ◼   ► physical editing machine like well five years down the line now you know you [TS]

00:38:41 ◼   ► potentially heavy track pad that can do all of that what does this madness [TS]

00:38:46 ◼   ► that's great I never even thought about that but that's just like it's like tech [TS]

00:38:51 ◼   ► as you get between clicks and then you can view it again like you go back to [TS]

00:38:56 ◼   ► like the analog hero when you people you know like to edit film you'd literally [TS]

00:39:00 ◼   ► splice pieces of film together [TS]

00:39:03 ◼   ► and at thats place there'd be a physical you know it it's pretty much just put [TS]

00:39:08 ◼   ► tape around it [TS]

00:39:09 ◼   ► yeah yeah it's funny to me because you think on that on the software side Apple [TS]

00:39:14 ◼   ► has been working harder and harder to kind of take the ski a morphism out of [TS]

00:39:18 ◼   ► the design but I feel like it in a large way they're kind of thing that into [TS]

00:39:23 ◼   ► hardware so it's like we don't necessarily need our video clips to look [TS]

00:39:27 ◼   ► like analog video clips anymore but we're gonna give you more and more [TS]

00:40:39 ◼   ► obviously that's probably years down the line but it's dull ache the potential of [TS]

00:40:43 ◼   ► that is really cool right or anytime it hovers over a bunch really yea oh yea [TS]

00:40:47 ◼   ► popping up buttons I'm sure just like with almost every St Cave it was weird [TS]

00:40:53 ◼   ► crazy things like this I'm sure that everybody and their mother is going to [TS]

00:41:16 ◼   ► have known this 'cause i've i've never been fully on board with they're getting [TS]

00:41:20 ◼   ► rid of the separate buttons trackpad so like you know like step one was they got [TS]

00:41:26 ◼   ► rid of buttons and made the whole trackpad yeah and I never been fully on [TS]

00:41:31 ◼   ► board with that because and Schiller you know showed the mechanics of exactly [TS]

00:41:36 ◼   ► because it's like a teeter-totter with the fulcrum at the top click on the top [TS]

00:41:41 ◼   ► it's hard to click on the top and I click at the top way more than a look at [TS]

00:41:45 ◼   ► the bottom because the menus bars at the top you know the the close button for [TS]

00:41:49 ◼   ► Windows is at the top the tabs at the top so I've never been fully on board [TS]

00:41:54 ◼   ► that because the trackpad clicks better at the bottom and even for years I guess [TS]

00:42:00 ◼   ► I've kind of gone away from it but the way that you can still keep your stomach [TS]

00:42:04 ◼   ► the bottom and just do all your clips there even if you know moving it kind of [TS]

00:42:08 ◼   ► let you treat it like the buttons are still there at the bottom with the first [TS]

00:42:19 ◼   ► there's no tradeoff know it's it is really cool I intentionally when I [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► played around with it and hands-on intentionally was like clicking in [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► could not be happier with the stuff that I bought from so i i think everybody's [TS]

00:47:19 ◼   ► thinking about this so usually the last I would say you know really pretty much [TS]

00:47:24 ◼   ► since the iPhone came out iOS has sort of been the leading edge platform [TS]

00:47:31 ◼   ► for new stuff and it was you know it wasn't like back to iPhone it was back [TS]

00:47:38 ◼   ► to the Mac once you know stuff like multi-touch and things like that but [TS]

00:47:43 ◼   ► here's for such an iOS is the last platform to the game [TS]

00:47:48 ◼   ► yeah you could argue that the watch technically led with it but the watch [TS]

00:47:53 ◼   ► isn't out yet and I mean I guess the MacBook is now yet either but but yeah I [TS]

00:47:59 ◼   ► think it's interesting cos I mean we've heard rumors about haptic feedback [TS]

00:48:04 ◼   ► coming to the Mac and iOS platforms for years I wanna say the first the first [TS]

00:48:10 ◼   ► patent over this thing came out I wanna see like three or four months after the [TS]

00:48:14 ◼   ► original iPad I remember you know looking over a frenzy being like [TS]

00:48:19 ◼   ► pressure sensitive screen pressure sensitive screen trying all my gosh yeah [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► I feel like this technology has been very long and development and adjust its [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► which the the platform that made the most sense to launch it on i think is [TS]

00:48:39 ◼   ► probably when I think about watching it on iOS vs launching it on the Mac I feel [TS]

00:48:47 ◼   ► like there's a lot more flexibility on the Mac platform if that makes sense [TS]

00:48:53 ◼   ► than iOS iOS has so many different multi-touch controls at this point [TS]

00:49:00 ◼   ► especially when you translate over to the iPad that introducing forced touch [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► on the on the phone first being like not only do you have contextual menus for [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► such but we're opening this up to app developers and I feel like I'm trying to [TS]

00:49:16 ◼   ► think about when you would launch such a thing it would probably be WBC because [TS]

00:49:19 ◼   ► you know you wanna SDK for this and all of that and the only real time to do [TS]

00:49:25 ◼   ► that would have been last year during the iOS aid extravaganza explosion [TS]

00:49:30 ◼   ► actually that's an interesting point I haven't thought about that so how do you [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► like so they did last year it is a perfect example where they snuck into [TS]

00:49:40 ◼   ► WWDC that's not but they had a whole bunch of sessions [TS]

00:49:44 ◼   ► important sessions on the display sizes you know which really only made sense in [TS]

00:49:52 ◼   ► the context of there gonna be some new screen sizes oh yeah but they didn't say [TS]

00:49:57 ◼   ► that they it was all sort of hypothetical like if you had a device [TS]

00:50:02 ◼   ► that was bigger than an iPhone but smaller than an iPad hypothetically I'm [TS]

00:50:08 ◼   ► not sure they could get away with that with force touch I don't know yeah I [TS]

00:50:13 ◼   ► mean yes yes well yeah exactly where they're like oh potentially this thing [TS]

00:50:18 ◼   ► is coming down the line [TS]

00:50:20 ◼   ► hint hint nudge nudge whereas if you lead off with a touch of the watch and [TS]

00:50:27 ◼   ► forced touching the Mac and you lead off in the spring with it that gives people [TS]

00:50:31 ◼   ► all of the spring all of the summer [TS]

00:50:35 ◼   ► some of the fall to get used to developing properly with it you know [TS]

00:50:40 ◼   ► we're talking about button but not Palooza like it gets [TS]

00:50:44 ◼   ► developers to kind of get all of their immediate must use this everywhere [TS]

00:50:49 ◼   ► coming out of their system and allows them to get to know the forced us to [TS]

00:50:54 ◼   ► touch technology well enough so that when I say they come out down the line [TS]

00:50:59 ◼   ► September saying oh guess what you know that iPad programmer work you know the [TS]

00:51:03 ◼   ► iPhone the iPhone it has forced touch to now we have such across all your devices [TS]

00:51:07 ◼   ► and will release an SDK for developers to to be able to build with it [TS]

00:51:13 ◼   ► any developer who's already been playing around on the Mac is like oh yeah I know [TS]

00:51:17 ◼   ► how for such works I know perfectly how I could implement this into my apt [TS]

00:51:20 ◼   ► whereas you know you try and do it the other way around you try and launch a [TS]

00:51:27 ◼   ► brand new technology on on iOS in advance I don't know I lost my train of [TS]

00:51:35 ◼   ► thought but I hope one of the things I mean you you personally are like I don't [TS]

00:51:40 ◼   ► know I don't even like a hobbyist level illustrator you like a sketchy like to [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► draw so clearly that's one of the things you're personally looking at this for [TS]

00:51:48 ◼   ► absolutely but it's way more interesting [TS]

00:51:51 ◼   ► on iOS especially the iPad than it is on the Mac for drawing because drawing on a [TS]

00:51:57 ◼   ► trackpad is always gonna have no matter how sensitive the trackpad is there's [TS]

00:52:01 ◼   ► that layer of indirection where you're drawing on this thing that doesn't show [TS]

00:52:07 ◼   ► what your drying and you're looking above it on a display where it shows [TS]

00:52:11 ◼   ► we're drawing whereas drying on an iPad it's right there it's drying directly on [TS]

00:52:16 ◼   ► the screen yet the contrast between anybody who's ever used a a Wacom tablet [TS]

00:52:22 ◼   ► it's the difference between an interest to you know just sketching on this is [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► done the statics the static surface and having it reflect on the screen versus a [TS]

00:52:32 ◼   ► Cintiq which is a monitor so actually having a directly under on when the [TS]

00:52:37 ◼   ► first touch first came out i got really excited I wrote an article on a more [TS]

00:52:40 ◼   ► about you know what what does this mean for the rumored iPad pro and what does [TS]

00:52:44 ◼   ► this mean for iPads in general and some was like you can't use force touch on a [TS]

00:52:48 ◼   ► on a multi-touch screen with a with pixels it's going to damage the pixels [TS]

00:52:53 ◼   ► like a really good laugh I'm like technically a MacBook trackpad is a [TS]

00:52:59 ◼   ► there what my phone its fine case attracted is a multi-touch screen [TS]

00:53:08 ◼   ► essentially they're just there no pixels are you fit and again doesn't move it is [TS]

00:53:13 ◼   ► glass yea im sure its engineering was trickier because you've also got a [TS]

00:53:18 ◼   ► display but it's got a map you got a Mac the your input to specific pixels on the [TS]

00:53:24 ◼   ► screen which is also I mean that's something speaking from putting my [TS]

00:53:29 ◼   ► illustrator on a hat on for a second [TS]

00:53:31 ◼   ► that's something that illustrators and stylists makers have struggled with a [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► lot with the iPad because the iPad's initial touch targets were very much [TS]

00:53:41 ◼   ► built for finger sized input so it's also why you sellick styluses with these [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► big round sort of [TS]

00:53:48 ◼   ► reburied nibs the first couple years and also why you have an iPad or two and a [TS]

00:53:54 ◼   ► stylist all of a sudden the stylus like is cruddy it doesn't work very well [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► anymore because between the iPad air and the iPad air to they like completely [TS]

00:54:03 ◼   ► changed how finger input was done so from a finger point doesn't feel like [TS]

00:54:09 ◼   ► anything but from a stylist all of a sudden like the pixels are off mapped [TS]

00:54:13 ◼   ► and everything's off center and sometimes you don't even like it doesn't [TS]

00:54:17 ◼   ► even connect budget bunch of gibberish anyway like the the point that is just [TS]

00:54:23 ◼   ► that actually having mapped pixels to pressure sensitive pressure sensitivity [TS]

00:54:30 ◼   ► and and a pressure sensitive screen would be huge for artists and like I [TS]

00:54:35 ◼   ► just I dunno I dick around I i sketch sometimes I'm not you know I'm not a [TS]

00:54:39 ◼   ► heavy-duty illustrator but I talked to like I have friends who are cartoonists [TS]

00:54:42 ◼   ► and web cartoonists who you know who have been wanting him a [TS]

00:54:45 ◼   ► pressure-sensitive iPad screen for four years because the idea especially with [TS]

00:54:50 ◼   ► something like hand off the idea of being able to start a sketch on your [TS]

00:54:54 ◼   ► iPad and have the same amount of control and precision as you do you know working [TS]

00:55:00 ◼   ► on a on a Wacom Cintiq it's it's a pipe dream [TS]

00:55:02 ◼   ► it's a it's like that that is the thing then that artists 1 yeah and I think [TS]

00:55:08 ◼   ► that it's only natural that the smarts go into the drawing surface and not the [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► stylist yeah you know and the only way to get any kind of pressure sensitivity [TS]

00:55:20 ◼   ► up until now and I always do you some kind of pressure sensitive stylus and [TS]

00:55:24 ◼   ► it's just I just feel like that's not right and it's not even harkens back to [TS]

00:55:27 ◼   ► the analog days where the pressure is registered on paper it's the pan isn't [TS]

00:55:31 ◼   ► smart about it you know it's the paper that absorbs the pressure if you're [TS]

00:55:34 ◼   ► gonna do a hard stroke vs a light stroke yeah absolutely and actually that's [TS]

00:55:39 ◼   ► something going back to look for such in haptics that's one of the things that [TS]

00:55:44 ◼   ► got me super excited is not just that the that the screen is recognizing your [TS]

00:55:48 ◼   ► pressure and whether you know you're making a little a light tan line or a [TS]

00:55:52 ◼   ► dark thick line based on your pressure but if the haptics can if the haptics [TS]

00:55:57 ◼   ► can provide click feedback it's a possibility that they can provide a [TS]

00:56:01 ◼   ► little bit of [TS]

00:56:02 ◼   ► rumbling feedback while you're drawing to to give you a little bit more or at [TS]

00:56:05 ◼   ► least feel like you're getting a little bit more resistance which I don't know [TS]

00:56:09 ◼   ► if you've ever tried drawing on an iPad screen but one of my biggest criticisms [TS]

00:56:13 ◼   ► has always been the fact that lake if you're driving with anything find tips [TS]

00:56:16 ◼   ► or even if you know even with a rubber stylus or one of those paintbrush [TS]

00:56:20 ◼   ► styluses it feels like you're drawing on glass there's no there's there's no [TS]

00:56:25 ◼   ► pretending that even on a Wacom tablet it feels like you're trying on glass or [TS]

00:56:30 ◼   ► on plastic it doesn't feel like paper and Mike haptics could do that even even [TS]

00:56:35 ◼   ► chill like 50% of what paper feels like that could be really incredible right [TS]

00:56:39 ◼   ► like that but that's a completely different experience that were feeling [TS]

00:56:43 ◼   ► with what's otherwise a stationary glass surface yeah it so the things that come [TS]

00:56:50 ◼   ► to mind for me for the future of the static engine going across everything [TS]

00:56:55 ◼   ► Apple does Fri OS [TS]

00:56:57 ◼   ► artists definitely it also really makes me think about you know you've brought [TS]

00:57:03 ◼   ► up the rumored you know mythical iPad pro you know it's obviously is not [TS]

00:57:08 ◼   ► coming out this spring maybe now people think maybe that part of the bid for all [TS]

00:57:12 ◼   ► you know stuff this year I i you know everybody's been saying that for a long [TS]

00:57:17 ◼   ► time and have been rumors that Apple is you know commissioning screens and stuff [TS]

00:57:21 ◼   ► like that but I've always said well who's the market right and artists would [TS]

00:57:26 ◼   ► definitely be one right like I think you know no question no question so I think [TS]

00:57:32 ◼   ► that's gotta be you know if if the device exists that has to be part of it [TS]

00:58:03 ◼   ► creatives anymore and I don't necessarily think that's true but I [TS]

00:58:06 ◼   ► think their their viewpoint has broadened a little bit and I kind of [TS]

00:58:10 ◼   ► feel like for the iPad pro to be successful it has to aggressively target [TS]

00:58:14 ◼   ► business in a way and again from a from an artist perspective I see first touch [TS]

00:58:20 ◼   ► be very useful because the haptics because the pressure all that but from a [TS]

00:58:25 ◼   ► business perspective the thing that kind of caught my attention when we're [TS]

00:58:30 ◼   ► talking about bigger screens and also haptic responses visual keyboards the [TS]

00:58:37 ◼   ► idea like we said we've seen really really crappy implementations of this [TS]

00:58:40 ◼   ► and in blackberry a couple years ago when they actually made the screen click [TS]

00:58:44 ◼   ► for I think the blackberry storm and the storm two had electromagnetic responses [TS]

00:58:49 ◼   ► but it just didn't feel very good and it was really really sketchy didn't didn't [TS]

00:58:54 ◼   ► quite work when you're tapping on it but if you had an iPad pro se that was 10 12 [TS]

00:58:59 ◼   ► 13 inches and you had haptics available for drawing programs but then you pull [TS]

00:59:04 ◼   ► up the keyboard and when you're typing you get the feeling that you're [TS]

00:59:20 ◼   ► game-changer for the iPad in regards to to writing and functioning with it I [TS]

00:59:25 ◼   ► thought of that too but even in theory I could see how that would even help on [TS]

00:59:28 ◼   ► the phone [TS]

00:59:29 ◼   ► oh yeah but the big butt is that it seems like you'd only get their feedback [TS]

00:59:34 ◼   ► after pressing yeah so it's more it's not like you'd know I don't see how they [TS]

00:59:41 ◼   ► could do it unless they could actually raise the screen and advance which [TS]

01:00:02 ◼   ► that feedback before you press you don't get it afterwards it would just be a way [TS]

01:00:11 ◼   ► got the DMTF at the same time [TS]

01:00:14 ◼   ► yeah the other thought is you use the pressure sensitivity to be that when you [TS]

01:00:18 ◼   ► lightly brush your fingers against the keyboard it doesn't actually type down [TS]

01:00:22 ◼   ► it just lets you feel those keys and then [TS]

01:00:25 ◼   ► when you press a little bit harder types for you yeah that might be a little bit [TS]

01:00:29 ◼   ► of it might be too much of an adjustment to do on an iPad but I like the idea [TS]

01:01:02 ◼   ► it the air and like the even the older the older keep keyboards with like [TS]

01:01:07 ◼   ► really thick manual keys but with the MacBook after a little bit of tinkering [TS]

01:01:14 ◼   ► with it like feeling it out I found that I was almost gliding around the gliding [TS]

01:01:19 ◼   ► around the trap the keyboard when I was typing so it didn't you know it wasn't [TS]

01:01:24 ◼   ► like physically picking my finger up tapping and other things physically [TS]

01:01:27 ◼   ► Dutta duh but it was moving my fingers very quickly and only pressing down when [TS]

01:01:33 ◼   ► I felt kind of like the ridges on to a certain key I don't know if that makes [TS]

01:01:38 ◼   ► any sense but it it feels to me like the new MacBook keyboard is practically [TS]

01:01:45 ◼   ► forced touch trackpad it's it's so small and so thin that it like I don't know [TS]

01:01:52 ◼   ► what it feels like that that is potentially down the line where Apple [TS]

01:02:02 ◼   ► the other hand I've never liked typing on any laptop keyboard ever it's all [TS]

01:02:06 ◼   ► just a degree of how little I liked it compared to a real solid clicky desktop [TS]

01:02:11 ◼   ► keyboard it's intriguing to me though I do and I i love that slow motion video [TS]

01:02:17 ◼   ► they made of the fingers in a making the whole thing the keyboard yeah well I [TS]

01:02:23 ◼   ► call it like another thing this but I guess shallowness that's the main thing [TS]

01:02:26 ◼   ► doesn't it just does not that there's just enough physically isn't the room [TS]

01:03:08 ◼   ► with slightly raised in dense for where to you should be but there's they're [TS]

01:03:17 ◼   ► they like dimples [TS]

01:03:20 ◼   ► so bad and I remember all my friend even that you know I was the one who is [TS]

01:03:29 ◼   ► care but everybody agreed my god this computer's keyboard is the biggest piece [TS]

01:03:33 ◼   ► like this is insane I think it was a good classic I'm guessing internally at [TS]

01:03:39 ◼   ► Apple it was like a classic up cell where the Atari 400 really only existed [TS]

01:03:43 ◼   ► to get people to buy the Atari 800 oh yeah it's like sure you could you could [TS]

01:03:58 ◼   ► child-proof designed a pressure-sensitive wiped clean keyboard [TS]

01:04:02 ◼   ► well I mean I guess it would be a lot harder to spill applesauce I don't know [TS]

01:04:08 ◼   ► I feel like spilling something on any computer in the eighties was bad news [TS]

01:04:14 ◼   ► period but I think the new MacBook keyboard can be down [TS]

01:04:18 ◼   ► yea well so I like I completely understand your hesitation on it because [TS]

01:04:23 ◼   ► I was def like I don't I'm not a huge fan of the laptop keyboards especially [TS]

01:04:27 ◼   ► the increasing obsession with dinner and and shallower keyboards but you need it [TS]

01:04:34 ◼   ► for [TS]

01:04:34 ◼   ► for a computer that's so far [TS]

01:04:37 ◼   ► that it takes the current MacBook Airs look like you know science but I like i [TS]

01:04:44 ◼   ► genuinely really really enjoyed typing on it and I don't know if it's just I [TS]

01:04:48 ◼   ► physically noticed the wobble of the key use after using that MacBook like going [TS]

01:04:52 ◼   ► back to my MacBook Air but there is something significantly faster feeling [TS]

01:04:58 ◼   ► about typing on it once you get used to it the first five minutes it feels like [TS]

01:05:03 ◼   ► you're typing in bizarro land or almost like you're typing on glass where it's [TS]

01:05:07 ◼   ► because I like when I first started using it I was pounding so hard that I [TS]

01:05:11 ◼   ► was making the entire computer shake and I was kind of surprised by that time [TS]

01:05:16 ◼   ► like I I don't feel like I'm typing that much harder than I do on my air and then [TS]

01:05:20 ◼   ► once I sort of lightened up my pressure on it I was able to go really fast but [TS]

01:05:28 ◼   ► no i i i don't know whether it was just a really quick learning curve and i [TS]

01:05:34 ◼   ► really I really enjoyed it to the point where I now that I'm using my Mac but [TS]

01:05:39 ◼   ► you know going back to using by 11 inch MacBook Air I'm kinda jealous I i really [TS]

01:05:46 ◼   ► wanna use that keyboard not enough to get a new MacBook but but enough that [TS]

01:05:50 ◼   ► I'm like rape can be next year already know what I would like to see this fall [TS]

01:05:54 ◼   ► into the other computers so this brings us back to where we were talking about [TS]

01:06:00 ◼   ► the a week later how people seem more upset about the new MacBook than they [TS]

01:06:05 ◼   ► were on the day of the event has it settled and people are upset and one of [TS]

01:06:09 ◼   ► the things i've detected a recurring complaint is that clearly what people [TS]

01:06:14 ◼   ► wanted were the MacBook Air as we know it with a registry and yeah they're not [TS]

01:06:20 ◼   ► going to get it and I think they know in your heart this means I never gonna get [TS]

01:06:23 ◼   ► it as prices drop on the components for this new MacBook and it can they want [TS]

01:06:31 ◼   ► they can make it for like $9.99 I don't know if they get it if they do it [TS]

01:06:35 ◼   ► although maybe they'll keep the 11 inch air [TS]

01:06:37 ◼   ► longer at 899 or something but once they can make this $9.99 the MacBook Air goes [TS]

01:06:42 ◼   ► away [TS]

01:06:42 ◼   ► yeah I have to assume so which makes me a little bummed to be honest I really [TS]

01:06:47 ◼   ► like the 11 inch computer but the 12 and she's not that much bigger honestly it's [TS]

01:06:53 ◼   ► not that much it's not like it you have a little bit of with here and there but [TS]

01:06:58 ◼   ► overall it has very similarly the same footprint yeah it's a funny sort of way [TS]

01:07:04 ◼   ► that like they've they've expanded a lot of other things now there's two iPad [TS]

01:07:09 ◼   ► sizes now there is three iPhones sizes and at least two at the you know current [TS]

01:07:16 ◼   ► latest and greatest but now they're taking the standard MacBook from two [TS]

01:07:21 ◼   ► sizes one size [TS]

01:07:22 ◼   ► sort of splitting the difference yeah bringing it down to write the air is if [TS]

01:07:27 ◼   ► you want the late model you're just going to have to make do with 12 inches [TS]

01:07:30 ◼   ► and if you want more screen size variation then let's look at the promo [TS]

01:07:35 ◼   ► the the proline yeah I think so but I think that as that settled in people [TS]

01:07:41 ◼   ► realize they're never going to get an air as we know it [TS]

01:07:45 ◼   ► ok we're going to sacrifice a little you know it's not going to be the thinnest [TS]

01:07:48 ◼   ► in the world but it has you know a separate power port has MagSafe it has [TS]

01:07:53 ◼   ► couple of USB ports has a thunderbolt this you know dongle dongle port port ya [TS]

01:08:01 ◼   ► boy and it's gonna happen and people as I settled and now people are getting [TS]

01:08:10 ◼   ► people getting angry but I still think though like but look at how different it [TS]

01:08:16 ◼   ► is we're in 2008 when Apple unveiled the air Montaner it was $3,100 to get the [TS]

01:08:23 ◼   ► good one and now you can get a good new MacBook for 1300 the base model is [TS]

01:08:28 ◼   ► actually pretty good [TS]

01:08:30 ◼   ► yeah it's not bad at all I got my most recent eras $1,400 something like that [TS]

01:08:36 ◼   ► for completely maxed out and I loved it it was a it was a great choice and I [TS]

01:08:42 ◼   ► think I feel like people cannot get through their head is the way that Apple [TS]

01:08:46 ◼   ► is clearly saying you're not supposed to work [TS]

01:08:49 ◼   ► power connection your you know you're so you know the future is not just wireless [TS]

01:08:54 ◼   ► peripherals but wireless power you know that you're you're gonna charge when [TS]

01:09:00 ◼   ► you're you know somewhere overnight and then you're going to use the thing all [TS]

01:09:04 ◼   ► day without having you just gonna run with it and you know what I was actually [TS]

01:09:09 ◼   ► my one concern with the new MacBook was the lack of MagSafe especially I don't [TS]

01:09:15 ◼   ► know if you saw on Twitter but yesterday I had a fun accident with my macbook air [TS]

01:09:19 ◼   ► where it flew like six-feet [TS]

01:09:50 ◼   ► happened and I was like after I got over the heart attack and the like oh my God [TS]

01:09:54 ◼   ► my MacBook's ok I immediately thought of a god this is what's gonna happen to a [TS]

01:09:59 ◼   ► hundred MacBooks when someone trips over the USBC cord because they're just [TS]

01:10:04 ◼   ► they're just gonna go flying through the air and I'm kind of concerned about the [TS]

01:10:11 ◼   ► USBC being the power charging solution but it's like you said I really think [TS]

01:10:16 ◼   ► that by taking away MagSafe Apple is basically saying you know you don't need [TS]

01:10:21 ◼   ► to charge this computer you know 9 10 hours of battery life it should be good [TS]

01:10:24 ◼   ► enough for anyone using this end for me I'm like that's right on the edge I feel [TS]

01:10:31 ◼   ► like I would have been a lot more comfortable if they had released a [TS]

01:10:35 ◼   ► machine that was like 14 to 16 hours of battery life [TS]

01:10:38 ◼   ► light web browsing because 14 to 16 hours translates probably into seven to [TS]

01:10:43 ◼   ► eight hours of like heavy usage or running multiple programs or you know [TS]

01:10:48 ◼   ► watching video to support tabs open you know basically how many how many you [TS]

01:10:54 ◼   ► know moderate to pro user destroys their travel machine [TS]

01:11:21 ◼   ► went from 100% fully charged to 19% an hour and 20 minutes with that tethering [TS]

01:11:28 ◼   ► and I ended up having to take out the takeoff the tethering and turn my screen [TS]

01:11:33 ◼   ► down really low and just spend the rest of the the key don't like alright I'm [TS]

01:11:37 ◼   ► just gonna I'm a regular number photographs so I I think about things [TS]

01:11:41 ◼   ► like that where I'm like yes this is the night this is not the ideal use case for [TS]

01:11:47 ◼   ► this for this new MacBook but still you know it should probably last more than [TS]

01:11:54 ◼   ► two hours in high usage scenarios without needing to be plugged in and for [TS]

01:12:00 ◼   ► people like maybe maybe Apple's just saying those those people you know [TS]

01:12:04 ◼   ► people who need high usage hi battery things made maybe you should still look [TS]

01:12:08 ◼   ► at a computer that has a MagSafe right for now you know and it's I'm not trying [TS]

01:12:14 ◼   ► to say that it's not a loss because I like almost everybody I don't know if [TS]

01:12:18 ◼   ► there's anybody who hasn't had one incident over the last [TS]

01:12:26 ◼   ► know as advertised popped right out and you're like wow that I MagSafe just [TS]

01:12:30 ◼   ► might have saved my computer it happen to me so I'm not underplaying I [TS]

01:12:35 ◼   ► definitely think not having MagSafe is in some ways it's a loss because mag [TS]

01:12:40 ◼   ► savers amazing and what a clever idea nobody else has it [TS]

01:12:44 ◼   ► lo these many years later pricing me but I really think that the message is you [TS]

01:12:53 ◼   ► shouldn't be using it while it power or at least was connected to a wall outlet [TS]

01:12:58 ◼   ► and so think about it and when this win when mark fuhrman's scoop on this design [TS]

01:13:03 ◼   ► hit a couple of it was in January [TS]

01:13:05 ◼   ► yes and everybody you know the the first thing everybody said boy this is this [TS]

01:13:11 ◼   ► has to be wrong because there's no MagSafe and there's no way that is safe [TS]

01:13:14 ◼   ► and that people who obviously had the right idea was like well iPad doesn't [TS]

01:13:21 ◼   ► have MagSafe an awful lot of people use their iPad the way other people use a [TS]

01:13:51 ◼   ► yeah but no I'm totally like people who are what was it last week people are [TS]

01:13:58 ◼   ► like oh Apple is going to allow people to make battery cases for the MacBook [TS]

01:14:03 ◼   ► and unlike standard PC [TS]

01:14:05 ◼   ► this is the first time like this is this is a charging port that they they don't [TS]
